Mahad Aamir

Computer Scientist

Introduction

Hello, world! 👋

I'm Mahad - currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Klarna in Berlin.

At core, I am a Computer Scientist with a diverse work experience spanning multiple industries, cloud and consulting. I have an extensive knowledge of the software development cycle as well as proficiency in several programming languages.

I have been a technology enthusiast for as long as I can remember. I was always intrigued by how computers worked so getting to study Computer Science is something I can't be grateful enough for. I'm always on the hunt for new things to learn whether it's through working on my programming projects, tinkering with the OS of my phone or just watching theoretical Computer Science videos on YouTube.
